About this study

Researchers would like to see if it is possible to predict which transplanted kidneys will do better long term based on the gene expression within a kidney biopsy one year after transplant. Gene expression profiling is used to study the activity of genes. Each gene has an "on/off" switch that controls how they are expressed in a cell, as well as a "volume control" that increases or decreases the level of expression of a particular gene as necessary. Researchers want to see if the presence and abundance of certain transcripts in a kidney biopsy at one year after transplant can predict which kidneys will have reduced function over time.
